Building a paper town

This indoor craft activity is as large as your imagination. Create one building or make an entire city with people, castles, bridges, trees and more.

Structure and features

The website outlines:

  • what you will need
  • how to complete the activity in four simple steps
  • a video showing how one student made their town
  • activities to add to your town
  • questions to discuss and research
  • an inspirational video from others who have built before you.

 

Teacher notes

  • This activity aligns to the making and responding strands of the Australian Curriculum.
  • It is equally suitable for parents to do with their children at home as it is for teachers to do in the classroom.
  • The activity could be the inspiration for a short drama skit or a puppet show; it could be linked to a specific book or be used as a mini film set.
